"Nyx, I think it would be better if you used ice or wind against these scorpions."

"Yes, somewhere, but not as fast as I'd prefer. Too bad my undead aren't very effective against these creatures.." Byblos does nothing in the back row Namyrra summons Mediq to heal Catnip "Catnip, since I'm healing you I think you can safely attack Scorpiodemon A from the back row." Pyromancer attacks Scorpion E Saladdin attacks Scorpion F Battle order: Atramor Docken Namyrra Catnip Nyx Byblos

"Right, that's one down at least. And now I guess Byblos has rested enough to be able to act again." "Byblos, seal Scorpiodemon A from the back row please. And Catnip, I think you should just repeat, that was a great shot, would love for you to do it again." "I shall send a Light spell at Scorpiodemon A from the back row." "Guys, I think we'll only end up with two of the scorpions not being targeted this round, so the free hits we take should be easy to fend off." Battle order: Docken Atramor Nyx Catnip Byblos Namyrra

"Nyx, sorry about that, I forgot you were dropping most of your shielding." Battle order: Atramor Namyrra Docken Catnip Nyx Byblos Undead horde

"Sure I can Atramor." Nomad A, Nomad B, Sabredancer A, Pyromancer and Saladdin all attack Crimson Scorpion A Sabredancer B attacks Crimson Scorpion E Namyrra sends a wind spell at Crimson Scorpion C from the back row. "Catnip, try again please." "Byblos, I guess you won't be able to do anything this round, so just stay in the back row."

OoC: Excuse me? Scorpiodemon B was sealed, so Catnip's special damage should have no effect.

"Okay Nyx, we can do it that way, but then we'll have to make some adjustments to the battle order since we'll have four untargeted enemies instead of three." Battle order: Atramor Namyrra Nyx Docken Byblos Catnip Undead horde

"As you wish master Docken. I was also thinking we could have Byblos seal them so their special attacks won't harm us. So, I think you should hit scorpion C then, and Nyx scorpion D. That leaves scorpions E and F untargeted since they ignore the attacks of my undead, but we can take those free hits without getting hurt much." "Byblos, seal Scorpiodemon B from the back row please." "And Catnip, it would be nice if you could shoot Scorpiodemon B from the back row." "I'll send a wind spell through my Crystal Mace at Crimson Scorpion B from the back row." Saladdin attacks Crimson Scorpion E Pyromancer attacks Crimson Scorpion F Updated battle order below. Battle order: Atramor Namyrra Docken Byblos Catnip Nyx Undead horde

"Yes, let's start by going east. If we don't trigger a sandstorm or get attacked by demons there we will just go east again. After that, if we still haven't triggered a sandstorm or been attacked by demons we'll go north. Obviously, if we do trigger a sandstorm at one of the steps we'll have to stop and listen to what Nizam has to say."

A simple little thing to hang on the tree. To be honest I'm not sure what these are called in English, I do know we used to make them from paper in school though.

Namyrra collects all the water canteens the party is carrying and hand them over to Hathor. "Could you have these filled up please? I kinda want us to get going as soon as our great guide over there is ready." "Yes, we are. Can you lead us through the desert? Preferably right away, we've already wasted enough time trying to walk around in this crappy desert."

"Right, I don't have the necessary gold either, Docken, could you perhaps pay for our guide's hangover remedy?"

Namyrra walks over to Nizam and gently nudges him to wake him up.

"Yes Catnip, I believe we're all done now, so let's go back to the bar and see if we can find our real guide." "And Byblos, I picked up a couple of new scrolls in Eubric, I figure you'll be able to put them to better use than me, so here, you can use them for now."

"Not at all, here, take one."

After a quick visit to the marketplace Namyrra returned to patiently wait for the others to finish whatever they were doing. Updated stats: Crystal Mace is now WP:45 and imbued with all gems. And Namyrra now has a scroll of frailty and a scroll of weakening. Gold left: 55.

Having taken a short break from fighting bandits and demons in the desert Namyrra went to the market to seek out Elphaba. "Greetings green one, I'm looking for gems. To be precise, I'd like to buy: 1 diamond, 1 amethyst, 1 aquamarine, 1 garnet and 1 emerald. And I'd also like a scroll of frailty and a scroll of weakening. I believe all that adds up to a total of 600 gold. Have a nice day madam." Namyrra then went to Anwyl and had him imbue the newly bought diamond, amethyst, garnet and emerald into her crystal mace for 200 gold. With only 55 gold left, but with a vastly more powerful weapon to kill demons with she went back to the Oracle to wait for the others.

"I agree, going back to Eubric for some shopping would be most beneficial considering that Elphaba tends to visit the market at this time of year, and I'd love to get some more gems to upgrade this mace of mine. However, even though I'd love to sit down to have a drink I think we should wait with that until after we've kicked the demon butt." "But yes, let's go back to Eubric to visit the market."

"Yes, let's go west again."

"Right, seems going north-west isn't an option, I guess we'll go west instead, I think life is more peaceful there. It will also leave us with at least two options that will take us back to Farzibar straight away, and one option that takes us closer."

"Yes, let's refill our canteens, I guess Docken has enough to get to Farzibar without a refill though." "And Atramor, I'm not sure what you mean by going right? I think going North-West should take us close to the coast, and then we can just follow that until we get to Farzibar. Sound good? OoC: a) can we please use north, south, east and west instead of left and right? It makes it much easier to plot our progress on the map that way. And b) can we go diagonally?

"Well, it's less likely that what we think is east is still east than it being something else, so we might as well go North."

"Nyx, I don't think Docken will be able to speak to them, but I should be able to."

"Right, here's our little runaway, hope he's learned a thing or two about mirages now." Namyrra revives Atramor, and then tries to look around for any kind of visible landmark.

"Well, looks like everyone is rested and ready to go with filled up canteens, I say we follow Atramor's tracks east."
